I have an interesting development. I have a 9600 GT (nVidia) board so I
d/l'd the driver. I first uninstalled my current video driver(s) from nVidia
and rebooted. I got the black screen just before win/vist/ult booted (you
know, with the crawl at the bottom) and nothing happened! I couldn't get
into my Vista system. Thankfully I had a mirror image that I created this AM
so I redeployed it and repeated the above but I couldn't get Vista to run
(boot to desktop) after uninstalling my current nVidia drivers. I tried to
do this in safe mode but got the same results. Any ideas?

I suggest that you boot into safe mode and try and install the drivers from
there.AFAIK you no longer need to uninstall older NVIDIA drivers when installing
new ones. I have not installed any for the last year or twos upgrades.
Following is the link to the full set of release notes which is a lot more
comprehensive then the release highlights contained in Bears post.

Just tried to install and it said not for my system....weird. I def. got
the right version downloaded.
I have 7600GS on Vista x86 so it should be OK. Is it true that we no
longer need to uninstall the old driver?
